Or in my case, thrown the belt on, didn't use the spring, check cams align with timing marks, use Hex key to tension the belt to however tight I felt like setting it, torque up tensioner, stand back look at it and say "she'll be right" and it's good.

Wow.......

I agree that it can be done. Rotating the crank to the correct location to slack-out the belt and setting some "moderate" tension on it is what the idea behind it is. Too tight will wear belt fast, too loose may cause jump (which would have to be obviously too loose IMO). Remember to watch the tensioner as you rotate, you'll be surprised by it's movement by nothing other than cams / crank loading up. IIRC they are using the most slacked point in the rotation (ie-most slack taken up by tensioner), so if you set too hard of tension there, it's only going to get tighter from there.

I see how it can be done your way...belt life may be diminished though. I'll trust the Nissan engineers got it right.

Either way this timing belt is EASY compared to most other OHV engines I have done.

Thank you from abroad. This pictorial helped me immensely! I realize you left out a few details of prep to get to the fan, belts and stuff but this took me no time to figure out.

Unfortunately my Puller Centre screw was too long and forced me to remove the rad. I was doing the water pump as well so it was necessary to drain the fluid anyways.

It was only a bit difficult to install the new belt so i tried putting the tensioner in place 1st and then installed the idler second. It worked so easy.

Turns out my car didn't need a belt but It needed a water pump. It was just showing signs of seepage from the bearings. 2nd belt was installed at 97k, 8 years ago and still it was in good shape. Motor has 160k now.

Still lots to learn, thanks again.

Cheers

The timing belt has to be timed to the marks behind the pulley cover = just like you did for the pics of the top cam pulleys.  The HB has its own mark for this.

The vehicle has to be started and idling at 650 rpm [so slow] and then using a timing light and slowly spinning your just loose CAS use the above pic and set your ignition timing to the 4th mark = 15' [each gap is 5'].

Once you do this lock your CAS off, rev the motor a couple of times, let it settle, and then recheck at 650rpm.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
